Fire Safety Advice

My little boy of six and a half year is the first year. He was assigned a small project to come with a map showing the escape routes from his home if there is a fire. It need not be elaborate, but if one of you knows where I can find as a good example of "fire safety plan, it would be of great help. Even when I work, there is not one posted anywhere. I just need some ideas please. Their class had a "Fire Safety Program" on Wednesday when the firefighters talked to them and I think that showed them around their trucks, etc. All advice and suggestions appreciated.

My father is a firefighter .. then we have grown up with a tattooed fire safety in our minds. The website below is very informative, you said it was in first year and I'm sure you can lose weight in simple terms. Good luck mom.

you can go to the OSHA Web site and search for fire safety and evacuation plans, it's free.

Tell him what you would ... or contact your neighborhood fire department. and they will give you advice.

Put it in the car and go to your local fire station and let him visit with firefighters and talk about it ... it will be tops in its class

It seems you might be going a bit overboard. This is a first assignment grade, remember. If you get too complex, it is quite obvious that you almost everything done for him. The teacher is not asking for some big comprehensive fire safety plan, just a cute map of the house with arrows pointing to evacuation routes. I had to help your son to draw the map and help to know where to go in case of fire. Then draw an arrow indicating the best route to go to his room at the nearest door.

All these answers are good, but I would say you should also teach children the basics simple arrest, custody and roll.
Also, I taught my children that if they knew there was a fire in a little out, if possible. We have always had a plan, but you can not always rely on children to remember a plan. We must think more in Childs, and then you have to practice it and repeat it constantly, even if they never see a fire.

NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) has always a ton of fire safety tips, activities for families, children, and information on fire evacuation plans. See the link ...
